Brutal Sham
There was nothing Alan couldn’t screw up, no job he couldn’t botch and no situation he couldn’t muddle—until he decided he was done with the world’s cruel fate. It wasn’t that he was a malevolent sadist. He just didn’t feel ready to languish beneath the metropolis’ laws any longer. Not when there was a way to conqueror his life’s tragic flaws.
All he had to do was become a Super Villain. He would take what he was owed.
That was the plan anyway…
Brutal Sham is an unexpected superhero adventure of one man’s zany mission that is wildly entertaining. This fun superhero short story has flair and is crammed with humor.
Potentially a Hero
Warrick is a lousy psychic. He can only see the pasts and potential futures of strangers. That isn’t his biggest problem. One particular man’s past continues to haunt him. Robert could have been the greatest hero of all time, if only someone had pointed out his potential. But this is already Past, Present, Failure. Right?
Potentially a Hero is a delightful superhero adventure that will entertain. This superhero short story is just the right mixture of fun and drama.
Superhero Duplicity
Jumping on top of an exploding bomb wasn’t even the worst part of Guardian Warrior’s day. Not when he realized he was a clone. It only took a couple disasters to comprehend he was now out of a job. And it was hard to be angry at his original just because he was faster and more efficient at stopping evil.
He must find a new way to live. Once loosed from the superhero scene, Guardian Warrior’s world unravels. After all, what good are superhuman powers when they can’t be used against corruption?
